An international future for standards of HACCP training

The 4th International Meeting of the Noordwijk Food Safety Forum in March 2001 concluded with a workshop on 17th March 2001. The workshop’s aim was to consider ways of building upon the WHO’s 1995 Report on the training aspects of HACCP. It reviewed the report, the principal features of training design and examined the practical aspects of standardising HACCP training globally. It found that such a project would be feasible. However, it acknowledged that the support and backing of the WHO, FAO and national governments were an essential prerequisite for success.
